    Overall pretty video, nicely done. Particularly the weir. Its a nice weir,, it makes me wonder how many people drowned there

    Ahhhh such cool footage! You should check out FPV quad copters! Itโ€™s an analog (usually) video system with VR type goggles that essentially put you in the cockpit and it feels like flying an xwing since you can go pretty much anywhere is space. If youโ€™re bored check out FPV videos here on YouTube. People mount go pros to them and get incredible footage. Radiohead even did a video on a micro fpv drone. It flies through the slot of a mail box at one point. But the thing i think youโ€™d find interesting is all the engineering that goes into the flight controllers and how pretty much you have solder and build the drones yourself and using RC type transmitters to fly them

    Wow, this was so well done! Hehee so cool to see some shots of Philadelphia, and trying to spot you on the ground was fun, too. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    1980, we need a helicopter at $5,000 an hour
    2020 somewhat cheaper

    I was playing "Find Fran!" on some of the shots.

    The video and editing is really good!
    The sound track, however, is insanely great.
    Did you write that after edit, or edit to the track?

    It is beyond amazing that JPL is doing this 234.5 million km away.
    Correction, 234.49 million km.
    234.48….
